The score, the best window of the day and what pushes it up or down Loading data… Water level, temperature, modelled flow and gradient Bretka – Muráň · hladina ustálená The level is measured at an SHMÚ gauge; it is not the depth of the water at the fishing district. Loading data… Fast watercourse Podhorský potok: fast water, stony bottom, riffles and the pools below them. Typical trout waters. Hour by hour, pressure and the next few days Loading data… Where the sun and moon are right now and when the best windows of the day will come Drag along the axis to see where the sun and moon will be. The day lasts 9 h 35 min. Full moon around 24 Nov, new moon around 9 Nov. The solunar theory is not scientifically confirmed; we treat it as a supplement. The golden hour is the time around sunrise and sunset, when fish often bite. Course of the water, spots along the water, character and basic data The line shows the course of the fishing district according to the "Rybárske revíry" data 2026. Verify access points and exact boundaries on site. It warms up and cools down quickly. Fish are shy; a quiet approach and a delicate rig help. Well-oxygenated water and plentiful food (aquatic insect larvae). Typical of the grayling and barbel zones; gravel bars also serve many fish as spawning grounds. Shallower sections with fewer shelters. In lowland streams they alternate with muddy ones; fish keep to banks, roots and obstacles. Typical of fast mountain and foothill streams. There are shelters for trout and other fish among the stones, but your rig often gets snagged. Pronounced bends. Under the outer bank there is usually a deep hole, on the inner side a shallow gravel or sand bar. In summer the water is cooler, with more insects falling in and more shelter. It is often a good place for trout and grayling. Grows by the water; the roots stabilize the bank and create shelters beneath the surface. The branches hang over the water and provide shade and insects. A typical tree of stream and river banks. A dense root system creates undercut banks and shelters, and the leaves decompose quickly. Tall, fast-growing trees. They provide shade and insects, and branches and leaves fall into the water. Fish can move freely along the watercourse; the section is more continuous. The explanation is general and based on the fishing district description in the data and on common fishing practice. Actual conditions on site may differ; check them before you fish. Spots within 3 km of the watercourse are shown. Closed season, fishing hours, minimum sizes and daily limit. For guidance only: check them in the fishing regulations of the fishing district 1 Oct – 15 Apr fishing for all fish prohibitedoutside this period Exception: on waters where huchen occurs, from 1 Nov to 31 Dec fishing for huchen is possible only with a huchen fishing permit (§ 13, para. 4 and § 19 of the Act). The protection periods by species (below) apply independently of this closed season. Applies only outside the closed season. Outside these hours fishing is prohibited (§ 14(b) of the Act). April, September6.00 – 20.00 h May, August5.00 – 21.00 h June, July4.00 – 22.00 h November, December7.00 – 19.00 h Months missing from the table fall within the closed season. The hours in November and December on trout and grayling waters relate to the exception for fishing huchen (§ 13, para. 4 of the Act); check in the fishing regulations what may be caught at that time. On border waters the hours in the permit or the fishing regulations apply (§ 11, para. 2 of the Decree). The Act regulates night fishing in two wordings that seem to contradict each other at first sight, so always ask about it in the fishing regulations of the district or the fishing guard. This is a summary. For baits, hooks and groundbait also read the fishing regulations of the district, because the user may tighten the conditions. The blue and green groups cannot be combined. The limit applies per day, also when fishing in several districts, and once it is reached, fishing for that day ends. The species groups follow the SRZ interpretation of January 2026, not the text of the section directly. The district user may set a lower limit in the permit, in which case the stricter one applies. During this period the species must not be caught, even if the water type otherwise allows fishing at that time. It applies independently of the closed season for all fish. Some species are protected all year round (for example zingel and streber, lampreys, gudgeons, spined loaches, maraena whitefish, Carpathian barbel, sabre carp) and fishing for them is always prohibited. The full list of species is in the guide The fishing law, rule by rule. The shortest length from which you may keep a fish. The district user may raise the size, so look for the valid value in the permit and the fishing regulations. Total length is measured from the front of the head to the end of the longest ray of the tail fin (§ 12, para. 4). No minimum size applies, for example, to sunbleak, Prussian carp, European perch, roach, loach (slíž severný) and invasive species. As of 6 Nov 2026: Act no. 216/2018 Coll. on fisheries (wording effective 1 Jan 2022) and Decree no. 381/2018 Coll. (wording effective 1 Jan 2019); we found no newer wording. The law may change; you can find the current wording on Slov-Lex (Act) and Slov-Lex (Decree). Nearest fishing districts in the same river basin Loading the 3D terrain model… Water quality, river basin, bottom, fish, aquatic insects, wildlife and hazards from open databases. Except for wildlife and hazards, they are also included in the activity score. We assessed 16 factors; 3 of them change the score. The adjustments range from −14 to +12 points so that they do not outweigh the weather and water temperature. They are counted in the score, in the ranking and in the filters. site Jelšava, pod on Muráň, 12 km from the fishing district, standard not met in 4 of 4 years (2022 to 2025); in 2025: AOX (adsorbable organic halogens) The nearest SHMÚ monitoring site on this watercourse does not meet water quality standards. Lack of oxygen and organic pollution weaken fish directly, ammonium ions and nitrites are toxic to them, and further nutrients promote algae. All four years are counted, and newer ones carry more weight. The site location is only approximate (by water body), so it is counted with less weight. The site is farther than 10 km, so it is counted less strongly. An unmet standard does not mean the fish are not biting; the reduction is at most 5 points. The nearest SHMÚ monitoring site on the same watercourse: unmet water quality standards for the years 2022 to 2025 (newer years carry more weight). Oxygen deficiency and organic pollution directly weaken fish (Davis 1975), ammonium and nitrites are toxic, and nutrients feed algae. The exact amount by which an unmet standard lowers bites has not been verified, so this is fishing practice and caution. The reduction is at most 5 points and only ever lowers the score: what SHMÚ does not list is not proof of cleanliness. Benzo(a)pyrene and other PAHs are not counted in the score because most streams exceed their extremely low standard. Sources: SHMÚ, surface waters; Government Regulation of the SR no. 269/2010; Davis 1975 Bedrock, stony, ŠGÚDŠ A gravel and stony bottom is typical of trout and grayling waters: a good food base and spawning grounds. Trout production is higher in hard limestone waters (Almodóvar et al. 2006), but in Irish watercourses geology did not change trout density and the channel structure was decisive (Lehane et al. 2004). The evidence diverges; the weight is small. Sources: Almodóvar et al. 2006; Lehane et al. 2004 0.0× the average month, 0 of 36 observations in the year, iNaturalist Aquatic insects are scarce this month; food near the bottom matters more. Anglers fish “by the insects” (dry and wet fly). A measured dependence of catches on swarming is not documented in our sources. Data for these factors is missing or within the normal range: The rules are indicative and based on fishing practice and scientific studies; for each factor you can see how well it is supported. Weather, air pressure and water temperature affect the score more than this data does. The location of the site is only approximate (based on the water body), so the actual sampling point may be elsewhere on the watercourse. The data comes from the SHMÚ yearbooks (surface waters 2022 to 2025). The yearbook lists the sites that failed the standard; a site missing from the yearbook is not considered clean. We determine the distance and the match of the watercourse name ourselves, so the assignment is indicative. Last exceeded in 2019: Measured values, year 2025, sampled 8 Jul 2025: In the yearbooks 2017 to 2025 no exceedance of the standard is recorded at the station.

Natural substances (iron, manganese, sulfates, conductivity) are not counted in the yearbook-based assessment. The data comes from the SHMÚ yearbooks (groundwater 2017 to 2025). Treatment plants within 2 km of the fishing district. The treatment plant need not lie upstream of the fishing district; we do not assess the watercourse at the plant. Load is the ratio of the pollution produced to the capacity of the treatment plant (PE = population equivalent). Watercourse from the HydroRIVERS database matched with the fishing district, line deviation about 70 m The data come from a global database with a coarser resolution (tens of metres), so they are only approximate for small waters. Depth and volume are model averages. Rocky sills and stones provide hiding places, but rigs tend to snag here. According to the geological map: fluviálne sedimenty: litofaciálne nečlenené nivné hliny, alebo piesčité až štrkovité hliny dolinných nív a nív horských potokov, holocén | svetlé živcové ortoruly s polohami muskoviticko-chloriticko-granátických svorov a The fishing district description states the bottom: gravel, sand, bedrock, stony, which agrees with the geological map. The map shows the bedrock geology, not the exact bottom at the spot. The actual bottom material may differ, especially where sediment has been deposited. Few insects November: 0.0× the average month 0.0× the average month, 0 of 36 observations in the year, iNaturalist. The observations are added by people from the surrounding area; they are not measurements at the water. They show when aquatic insects usually appear and are useful mainly for fly fishing. A typical value from 8 groundwater stations within 10 km of the fishing district (nearest 0 km), measured in 2025. Closer stations carry more weight. This is groundwater near the district, not a measurement in the watercourse itself. The standard is the limit that SHMÚ gives for the indicator (for drinking water); a value equal to the standard counts as an exceedance, as it does at SHMÚ. The label "somewhere above the standard" means that the typical value is below the standard but at least one station exceeds it; which one is shown on the tile. Fish are more sensitive to some substances than people are. 0,005mg/l far below the standard Standard 0.5 mg/l.

Sources Species that have been observed or recorded around the water. Wildlife, plants and hazards do not enter the fishing conditions score and are for information only. The name of a species leads to its page. A small bird that dives and runs along the bed of rapids after insect larvae. Nests by clean mountain streams. The most common duck; it nests by almost every water with bankside vegetation. Insects whose larvae, in many species, build protective cases from pebbles, sand or plants. Predatory insect. The larvae live underwater for several months to years; adult dragonflies hunt in the air above the water. An insect with aquatic larvae. Adults live only briefly and hatch all at once in swarms. Black with yellow spots. Lives in deciduous forests by clean mountain streams; the larvae develop in the stream. It stands in the shallows and lies in wait for small fish. It is easy to see along the banks of ponds and slow streams. A small bird that dives for little fish. It nests in steep banks of clean streams. The largest native toad. In spring it migrates to water, where it breeds. A harmless snake with two yellow spots on the nape. It swims well and hunts frogs, fish and newts. It hunts fish, crayfish and frogs. It is strictly protected, and its presence is considered a sign of fairly clean water with plenty of fish. A herbivore that changes the stream and its banks with dams and burrows. It is protected. It creates shallows and pools where fish and insects thrive. An invasive herb from East Asia that forms dense stands up to three metres tall. A riparian tree whose roots reach below the water surface. An invasive plant from the Himalayas, up to two metres tall, with pink flowers. It overgrows the banks of watercourses. A wetland plant with a brown cylindrical fruiting spike. A tiny floating plant that can cover the whole surface of standing water. Tall grass that forms extensive reed beds around ponds and on banks. Lives in the mountain forests of northern and central Slovakia. Near water it hunts fish and drinks. How to protect yourself: In mountain districts move noisily, do not leave fish, entrails or bait leftovers near your tent, and store food away from where you sleep. If you see a bear, do not run, talk calmly and back away slowly. Never approach the cubs. A venomous snake that basks on rocky slopes, in wetlands and at forest edges near water. How to protect yourself: It is shy and bites only when threatened. On rocky banks do not reach with your hand between the stones, and wear sturdy footwear. After a bite stay calm, do not move the affected limb and call 112. Transmits tick-borne encephalitis and Lyme disease. It waits in tall grass and in the vegetation along banks. How to protect yourself: From spring to autumn check yourself after fishing, use repellent and tuck long trousers into your socks. Remove a tick as soon as possible with tweezers. A vaccination against encephalitis exists. Large biting flies. They are most active on hot, windless days near water and on meadows. How to protect yourself: They sting painfully, especially in summer around midday. Light-colored clothing with long sleeves and repellent help. It comes to the water to wallow and drink, mainly at dusk and at night. How to protect yourself: A wild boar sow with piglets can be aggressive. Keep your distance, do not spend the night on a game trail and do not leave food scraps near the water. A shy predator of the forests. It comes to the water at night and at dusk. How to protect yourself: Attacks on people are very rare. Keep your camp tidy, do not feed wildlife and keep your dog on a leash. Wildlife, plants and hazards: records come from observations and also reflect where observers move around; they are not density measurements or a guarantee of an encounter. They apply to the surroundings of about 35 × 55 km. Bedrock, watercourse and springs on the map, values at the location of the water, geomagnetic activity and earthquakes. This is information about the environment; only small hypotheses marked with a confidence level (faults and rocks, geomagnetic storm) enter the score. The bedrock map needs JavaScript to be turned on. Geological map of Slovakia 1 : 50,000: rocks beneath the surface, from alluvial gravels and sands through clays to granites and limestones. Colors follow the ŠGÚDŠ legend; clicking the map shows a description of the rock at that spot. For anglers: Gravel bars and rocky riffles give a clean bottom and habitat for zander, perch and barbel. Clayey and muddy ground holds food for carp and bream. Limestone and dolomite give harder water that is richer in food than granite and quartzite. Radon risk of the bedrock (low, medium, high). It is based on the radioactivity of rocks and on fissures. The map shows the bedrock, not radon in water. For anglers: Radon is a natural tracer of groundwater. Bedrock with a higher radon risk (granite, gneiss, tectonic faults) tends to be where fissure water comes to the surface. Most of Slovakia is "medium", so mainly a high risk is of interest. Equivalent uranium in surface rocks from airborne gamma spectrometry (ppm). From 4 ppm the bedrock is usually classified as having an elevated radon risk. For anglers: A high uranium level is a sign of granite, gneiss and black shales, that is, rocks from which radon and dissolved substances get into the water. It has no direct meaning for bites, but it helps to read the geology of the area. Gamma radiation dose rate in air (nGy/h) from an airborne survey. It is the natural background of the bedrock, not pollution. For anglers: Higher values are found in rocks rich in uranium, thorium and potassium (granite, gneiss, flysch with shales). It complements the uranium map; for an angler it mainly shows where the bedrock changes. Anomalies of the Earth's magnetic field (ΔT, in nT) caused by rocks with magnetic minerals, such as volcanic rocks, basalts or amphibolites. For anglers: Fish (especially salmonids and eels) sense the magnetic field. Whether local anomalies affect their movement and bites has not been shown; it is treated as a hypothesis. Click or tap the map to find the value at that location. medium Common for most of Slovakia. 3,4ppm common Typical background of the rocks. 8,3ppm around the crustal average Natural background of the rocks. 1,50% below the crustal average Natural background of the rocks. 60nGy/h around the world average Natural background of the bedrock. -11nT below the average of the surroundings Deviation of the magnetic field from the average of the surroundings. The values apply to a single spot (marked with a dot on the map), not as an average of the whole watercourse or river basin. Radon is a natural tracer in groundwater; the map does not include radon in water, only the bedrock risk. Mark on the dial: the average of the upper continental crust (uranium 2.7 ppm, thorium 10.5 ppm, potassium 2.3%; Rudnick and Gao 2003) and the world average of the natural outdoor dose 59 nGy/h (UNSCEAR 2000). The needle does not swing towards “good” or “bad”; it only shows where the value lies. Elevated uranium or radon is only information about the rock. It has no proven significance for bites; it helps to read what bedrock the water comes from. up to 1 km fault nearby Tectonic fault on the geological map. 0 none marked None within 1 km. covered by younger sediments detected at the surface Fissure groundwater flows out of the bedrock along faults and at springs. It tends to be cooler in summer and warmer in winter than the water in the stream, so according to anglers' experience fish stay near such places in extreme weather (summer and winter islands of a more suitable temperature). However, fresh fissure water can have little oxygen. This is anglers' experience, not a phenomenon measured at this fishing district. Faults are from the geological map at 1 : 50,000. Springs come from a hydrogeological map that covers only some regions, so zero does not mean there are no springs there. Naplaveniny The prevailing group of rocks according to the map. Gravels, sands and loams in the valley tell about the valley floor, not about the rock in the catchment. The water chemistry is determined mainly by the bedrock higher up above the spot. The rock at a single spot does not determine the chemistry of all the water: that depends on the bedrock across the whole catchment above the spot. The figure serves as a hint, not as a measurement. Highest forecast Kp in the next 24 hours: 5.0 (geomagnetic storm). Kp (0 to 9) measures the fluctuation of the Earth's magnetic field caused by the solar wind. From 5 it counts as a geomagnetic storm. Fish, especially salmonids and eels, sense the magnetic field. That their bites depend on Kp has not been shown, though: these are anglers' observations and hypotheses. The value is the same for the whole of Slovakia. It enters the activity score only during a strong geomagnetic storm (a hypothesis, −1 to −2 points). According to angling lore, fish (especially catfish and eels) react restlessly to tremors beforehand or stop biting. This is not reliably proven, and with weak tremors it is coincidence. People mostly do not notice deeper tremors from the Carpathians (for example near Komárno and Dobrá Voda) at all. The GEOFON catalog is global; weak tremors near Slovakia may not all be in it. It is not counted in the activity score. Data: © ŠGÚDŠ (geological, geophysical and hydrogeological maps), NOAA SWPC (Kp index), GFZ GEOFON (earthquakes). A link between the geomagnetic field, tremors or radon and fish bites has not been reliably proven, so they are not counted in the activity score. The method is described in Methodology.
